Hey everyone! I'm a dual degree student from BITS in India, with an MSc in Physics and BE in Electronics and Instrumentation.

Firstly, this forum has been a massive help in terms of what to expect from graduate admissions, so thanks a lot!

I wanted to know, which profs/universities can I apply to for Numerical Relativity, apart from the top ones like Caltech, Cornell etc, just to see if i've missed anything. I have heard that the professor should be given more preference over the college, so I plan to apply to not so well known colleges too, if they have a guide who is well known in the field.

Also, I have been considering taking a research internship for an year, since my resume doesn't seem to be strong enough for making the cut(I have to compensate for a really bad GPA. The average grades in my college hover around 2.8 on 4 ). So i wanted to know if anyone is aware of profs taking students for internships on numerical relativity with/without funding. It would be really helpful if someone has already worked under such a professor!
